My Christmas Coffee Table Love

November 29, 2012 By Meegan 19 Comments

Hello Hello!!  How are you doing this fine Thursday??  I am doing  just fantastic-I hope you are, too!!

I have been working lots on our Christmas decorations and reorganizing our home.  That’s why today I want to show off my coffee table!!  I am just so, so, so, so excited about this and how the living room is coming together for Christmas!!

As you enter our living room this is how you are greeted:

 If you remember I worked on the coffee table and am having do much fun dressing her up for the holidays and seasons.  I had fun also dressing up my branches and my window-but that is for another post coming very soon!!

 

I am just too excited for you to see my coffee table.  Yep, she was only 10 bucks, and it is a blast to keep her ready for every season.

Doesn’t she just look so pretty with grandpa’s croquet box.  (Another accessory I love to decorate for the seasons)

Pin It

 I decided to fill Grandpa’s box with white and gold snow flakes, blue bulbs, jars, a few sprigs of greenery, candles, a left over branch, and book page cones.  I am just loving this look!!

 I added some jars filled with candy for our visitors.  They are labeled with my chalkboards.

Pin It

 Using clothes pins I hung a few icicles and a “Be Merry” chalkboard to the croquet box.  This is another one of my fave looks about this table.

A closer look at the book page cones, and snow flakes, along with the  other elements in the box.  They all work together so well.

On the bottom I filled these painted jars with icicles and a few snowflakes.  Again, another love!!

Living Room Makeover

November 25, 2012 By Meegan 6 Comments

We moved into this condo 2 years ago.  I have worked and tried to make it a warm and cozy home for us.  Here are the steps we have taken.

Our empty pallet:

I began to paint some of our accessories, frame and mats in blue and green tones.  I also added pillows and window treatments.  I was getting there. But, my creative juices couldn’t stop.

I restyled my lamp shade then painted the bookshelf white.

Then my cute hubby hung our yummy fan.  Isn’t he an awesome hubby???  The rug is from Ross.  Yahoo!!         

I made a Book Page Wreath.  I sure love it!!  Then it was finally time to paint!!

Here is a view from the front door entry.  You can see my computer desk, and my branch tree.

For fun I added a small detail by painting the inside of the door.  It’s a surprise when you open the door.

 

I added Grandpa’s Croquet Box, and my new Cards Box.

After painting the walls and front door blue, I decided to add the same blue to the front of the book shelves.  Looking good!!

I really like the blue front of this now.  It makes the bookcase pop.
Oh!  Wow!!  I am in love with this room!!  There you have it!!  My living room makeover in a nut shell.
Since these pictures have been taken, I added my $10 Coffee Table.
I have a few more things I want to do in here. I would like make slipcovers for the sofa.  I will fill you in on that when I do 

Yay!!  I am almost done!!  Woo Hoo!!

I hope you enjoy and appreciate our new space as much as we do!!  Now it is time to decorate for Christmas !

 

Don’t forget:

See you tomorrow for The Monday Blues, and on Pinterest, Facebook, Hometalk, Google +, Stumble Upon, and now LinkedIn!!

 

Have a beautiful Sunday!!

My Fall Coffee Table

October 25, 2012 By Meegan 7 Comments

Hello, Hello!!  How is your week going??  I am so excited to share My Fall Coffee Table.  But, in the meantime, we are winding down with the wedding plans, and I am drowning in 2500 coffee filters!!   Just 9 more days until our son and his cute fiance are married!!  Wooo!!

In the meantime, I have been doing a little Fall decorating here and there.  I had so much fun refreshing this table in the Summer.

Joel Jones had given me a “$30 Challenge” and this is what I bought for starters.

 

I LOVE the results!!

But now that Fall is here, it was time to bring in the Fall colors and tones.

I started out with this orange pumpkin.  I really like it, but it doesn’t fit with the rest of the colors in our home.

So I did what any other DIYer would do, I painted her!!  Yep, I got some paint!!   I used the same paint that I used on the coffee table.  EASY!!!  I also took out the wreath, and added some book page cones like I used here.

My Fall Coffee Table

I added a few leaves from PB, some pine cones, a few of my coffee filter flowers, and some cattails.  NOW my coffee table  “fits” with our home.

Much better!! I just love my Fall Coffee Table It’s amazing what a little paint and a few book pages can do!!

I am also on Pinterest, Facebook, Hometalk and Stumble Upon.  I  am sure to see you soon around anyone of those!!  OR all of them!!

Make it a delightful Thursday!!
